Swanee Echoes on Classic Fingerstyle Banjo

I hope you don’t mind me sliding over here again from Classic Banjo Ning, to say hello and to post a video on Minstrel.

I have recorded this updated version “Old Folks at Home” which was originally composed by Stephen Foster 1851. I thought that this was more your period than that of us “modern” Classic Banjo players :-)

 This arrangement is by Alfred Kirby and is quite a challenge for an old duffer, like myself, when it gets warmed up !!

I hope it entertains :-)

I really enjoyed listening and watching you play that. Sounds so good and that banjo tone, wow!

Outstanding. There is a lot of ragtime in there, which I love.
